7 Higher National Unit specification: support notes This part of the Unit specification is offered as guidance. The support notes are not mandatory. While the exact time allocated to this Unit is at the discretion of the centre, the notional design length is 80 hours. Guidance on the content and context for this Unit This Unit has been designed to allow candidates to study the underpinning chemistry and physics required to understand the physical and optical properties of gemstone materials. This information can then be applied to the process of gemstone testing in a practical manner with the use of specialist gemmological equipment. The equipment used should be limited to the standard items of testing equipment. These are: Polariscope, Refractometer, Microscope, Spectroscope, Dichroscope, Chelsea Filter. Gem materials under discussion should be limited to the following species: inorganic: Beryl, Chrysoberyl, Corundum, Diamond, Garnet Group, Jadeite, Feldspar, Nephrite, Opal, Peridot, Quartz (including Chalcedony), Spinel, Topaz, Tourmaline, Turquoise, Zircon organic: Natural and Cultured Pearls, Amber, Coral, Jet synthetics: Corundum, Spinel, emerald, CZ simulants: Composite, Paste, Plastic Guidance on the delivery and assessment of this Unit It is anticipated that the lecturer will provide a range of short lectures during the early stages in the delivery of this Unit but as time progresses and the candidates gain more knowledge and expertise, the subject will become increasingly practical. This will allow the candidate to build up a range of competences in the gem testing process and allow them to apply this knowledge in a practical environment. Opportunities for developing Core Skills There are opportunities to develop the Core Skills of Problem Solving at SCQF level 6 and the component Using Number of the Core Skill of Numeracy at SCQF level 5 in this Unit. Problem Solving at SCQF level 6 may be developed as candidates will be required to ascertain various measurements from a range of gemstones and using only this information, and with limited reference material, come up with a single identification of a given gemstone. Practical limitations in natural materials and the equipment may provide a variety of problems, which candidates will have to overcome. The component Using Number of the Core Skill of Numeracy at SCQF level 5 may be developed as candidates will be required to weigh and accurately measure gemstones in order to calculate constants such as Specific Gravity and Birefringence. HN Unit (F3XJ 34): Jewellery: Practical Gemmology 7
